shall come in among you, not sparing the flock.”
Acts 20:29

It
is a sad shame that there is neccessity for a site like this...
One would have thought that among the Messianic believers who call on the Name of יהוה there would be no need to have to resort to such a measure to purge the sin from amongst us. If it had not been forewarned from Scripture (Acts 20:29) one would most likely shy away from a site like this. This site has been put together by a group of concerned believers who have come together with the common goal of warning others who keep Torah and proclaim the Name above all names, that just because we follow the belief kept by יהושע the Messiah does not mean wolves will not come in and try to fleece the flock through greed and deception.

In essence, we are following a Scriptural mandate to reprove those who are in sin and be assured that
no ministry or individual will be appearing on this site unless they have first been given fair warning
and rebuke from Scripture in the area they may be transgressing.
It is our prayer and hope that any ministry warned through this site will repent of their transgression.
“Brothers, if anyone among you goes astray from the truth, and someone
turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the straying
of his way shall save a life from death and cover a great number of sins.”
Ya'aqob 5:19
The Word commands in regard to sin among believers:
“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Yohanan 7:24
It is well known that the Scripture that reads “judge not” is speaking of hypocrital judging.
“Do not judge, lest you be judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged.
And with the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you.”
Mattithyahu 7:1-2
Those who continue in sin without repentance are Scripturally to be removed from the assembly.
“For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside?
But Elohim judges those who are outside. And put away the wicked one from among you!”
1 Corinthians 5:11-13
“Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the entire lump?”
1 Corinthians 5:6
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Ephesians 5:11 “Proclaim the Word! Be urgent in season, out of season. Reprove, warn, appeal, with all patience and teaching.”
2Timothy 4:2
The primary reason this site was put together was to expose evil and the reason of what the majority of
web-ministries are guilty of, and that is: selling the Word of יהוה for profit or what can be called unjust gain.
SELLING THE WORD OF יהוה
Many are already aware of the Scriptural mandate to not charge interest or usery from fellow believers:
“If you do lend silver to any of My people, the poor among you, you are not
to be like one that lends on interest to him. Do not lay interest on him.”
Shemoth 22:25
“Do not lend at interest to your brother, interest of silver,
interest of food, or interest of whatever is lent at interest.”
Debarim 23:19
Many people though, are not aware that it is also a Torah command not to take ANY profit from a brother:
“And when your brother becomes poor, and his hand has failed with you,
then you shall sustain him, and he shall live with you, like a stranger or a sojourner.
Take no interest from him, or profit, but you shall fear your Elohim,
and your brother shall live with you.”
Wayyiqra 25:35
If this is the Law for basic sustenance of life, then how much more does that apply to Spiritual Food - His Word?
As we continue through Scripture, we find many witnesses to this Command.
“See, all beings are Mine, the being of the father as well as the being
of the son is Mine. The being that is sinning shall die. But if a man
is righteous and shall do right-ruling and righteousness...
If he does not lend on interest or take increase, turns back his hand
from unrighteousness, executes right-ruling in truth between man and man,
if he walks in My laws, and he has guarded My right-rulings in truth –
he is righteous, he shall certainly live!” declares the Master יהוה...
If he has lent on interest or taken increase – shall he live? He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations, he shall certainly die, his blood is upon him.”
Yehezqel 18:4-13
“In you they have taken a bribe to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase.
You have cut off your neighbour by extortion. And you have forgotten Me,”
declares the Master יהוה.”
Yehezqel 22:12
The word 'take increase' translated from the Hebrew means the following:
H8636 תּרבּית tarbı̂yth tar-beeth'
From H7235; multiplication, that is, percentage or bonus in addition to principal: - increase, unjust gain.
You cannot charge ANYTHING above cost to YHWH's people for His Word or anything to do with Him,
His Son, His Laws, Commandements etc. You cannot sell anything to do with Him for profit that is
above the base cost. יהוה calls this an abomination!
This is EXACTLY what was going on at the time the Messiah walked the streets of Yerushalayim
and was so wroth with the moneychangers in the Set-apart Place making PROFIT from His people
that he didn't just spontaneously throw them out... He actually took the time to make a whip
before driving out those selling MERCHANDISE:
“And He found in the Set-apart Place those selling oxen and sheep and doves,
and the moneychangers sitting. And having made a whip of cords,
He drove them all out of the Set-apart Place, with the sheep and the oxen,
and poured out the moneychangers’ coins and overturned the tables.
And He said to those selling doves, “Take these away!
Do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise!”
Yohanan 2:14-16
This is EXACTLY what is going on in this day and age and sadly no different than pagan Christianity
selling cups and hats and t-shirts with the Name of יהוה all for profiteering. Merchandising the Name
of יהוה is bad enough, but those who sell His Word for profit are particularly guilty bearing in mind
that יהושע gave all He had and spoke the well known words:
“...freely you have received, freely give.”
Mattithyahu 10:8
Just in case you find it hard to follow how this works; follow this example:
DONOR GIVES MONEY TO MINISTRY, MINISTRY USES DONATION TO PRINT, MINISTRY SELLS FOR PROFIT
DONOR GIVES MONEY TO MINISTRYAGAIN, MINISTRY USES DONATION TO PRINT, MINISTRY SELLS FOR PROFIT AGAIN
DONOR GIVES MONEY TO MINISTRYAGAIN, MINISTRY USES DONATION TO PRINT, MINISTRY SELLS FOR PROFIT AGAIN
DONOR GIVES MONEY TO MINISTRY YET AGAIN, MINISTRY USES DONATION TO PRINT, MINISTRY SELLS FOR PROFIT YET AGAIN... AD INFINITUM
Can you see how this goes on and on and ministries get richer and richer
and it is irrelevant how the ministry spends that profit, either for good or
for self indulgence because יהוה calls it an abomination.
This is how it should work:
DONOR GIVES MONEY TO MINISTRY, MINISTRY USES DONATION TO PRINT, MINISTRY SELLS AT COST
NO NEED FOR ANY MORE DONATIONS, MINISTRY USES COST PRICE TO PRINT, MINISTRY SELLS AT COST AGAIN
This can go on and on and no one has had need to make profit.
Every example in Scripture echoes the same message as the Torah;
that one does not charge to profit from His people.
“Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wishes to borrow
from you, do not turn away.”
Mattithyahu 5:42
“Oh everyone who thirsts, come to the waters. And you who have no silver, come,
buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without silver and without price.”
Yeshayahu 55:1
“And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And he who hears, let him say, “Come!”
And he who thirsts, come! And he who desires it, take the water of life without paying!”
Revelation 22:17
DO YOU WANT TO HELP?
If you have been particularly impacted by the Words of Scripture in this document and
have not even realized you are partaking in the iniquity of those who merchandise the
Name of יהוה and sell His Word for profit, then cease supporting those ministries
who do so and warn them of their transgression... It may be that they turn and
repent immediately at the knowledge of this Command that they had not previously
been aware of.
“And when any being sins, and has done what is not to be done,
against any of the commands of יהוה, though he knew it not,
yet he shall be guilty and shall bear his crookedness.”
Wayyiqra 5:17
If they refuse to listen or repent of thier iniquity then please feel free to contact us
and we will send them an email from this site as a second rebuke and warning.
If they still refuse to listen, then they will be entered into the HALL of SHAME
with an outline of their actions on this site.
We do not want to make this site all negative... As we expose those who are guilty
of selling the Word of יהוה for profit we want to highlight those that run their
ministries in accordance to the Word; that is, without self gain or profit.
In contrast to the 'Hall of Shame', we will be posting a 'Hall of Obedience'
or something to that effect so let us know of those sites that are doing
righteousness in spreading the Good News!
